This is my first post here and I just started learning Ruby a few days
ago, so forgive me if I sound a little ignorant. That said, I do have
some questions...
I come from Perl land and I'm wondering about some similar resources
that I valued there.
First, there is an excellent mailing list called Perl Beginners, where
coders learning the ropes post code they need help with and get tips
from the pros. (The website Perl Monks is similar.) I see that people
are posting code here, but I'm wondering if Ruby has a similar
environment?
Second, the Perl Quiz of the Week is a fun way to test and improve your
skills. I can always try it in Ruby, of course, but it would be great
to see other Ruby solutions and analysis. Any Quiz-like material in
Ruby land?
My final question is about Ruby itself. I'm working my way through
Programming Ruby, which I believe covers Ruby 1.6 or so. I've brought
my installation up to the current 1.8.1 though. Is there place I can
read about what's changed since then?
Thanks for you time.
